BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed March 14, 1911.

Patented May 13, 191.3.

Serial No. 614,352.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, VILLIAM l/VmsoN, acitizen of the United States of America, residing at Oakland, in thecounty of Alameda and State of California, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to bottles, and it has for its main object toprovide asimple and efficient bottle closure of novel construction.

Vith this and other ends in view which will readily appear as the natureof the invention is better understood, the 881116 consists in theimproved construction and novel arrangement and combination of partswhich will be hereinafter fully described and particularly pointed outin the claim.

In the accompanying drawings has been illustrated a simple and preferredform of the invention, it being, however, understood that no limitationis necessarily made to the precise structural details therein exhibited,but that changes, alterations and modifica' tions within the scope ofthe claim may be resorted to when desired.

In the drawings, Figurel is a vertical sectional view showing a deviceconstructed in accordance with the invention with the stopper seal inobstructing position. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the stopper seal innonobstructing position.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are denoted by likecharacters of reference.

A designates a bottle having a neck B wherein a stopper member C ispermanently seated. The stopper member C has a pouring aperture D, theinner end of which is obstructed by a fine screen E of wire netting orother suitable foraminous material. The stopper member C is also piercedby a tubular member 1 constituting an air inlet having at its lower enda goose neck 2 which is thus accommodated within the body The stoppermemb (7 affords a support for a slidable rod 17 car rying at its innerend a button or obstruction 18 to prevent its complete withdrawal fromthe member C. The rod 17 carries adjacent to its outer end a handle 19,whereby it may be manipulated, and a vali e member or sealing member 20,which in one position of the rod 17, as in Fig. 4, will obstruct themouth of the bottle, while in another position, as shown in Fig. 2, itwill enable the contents to be poured therefrom. It is also advisable toobstruct the outer end of the outlet aperture 1) by a screen member,here designated by 21.

It will be readily understood that when the valve or sealing member 20is unseated and the bottle is tilted, the contents may be poured throughthe aperture I), and air will enter through the tube 1 to replace theliquid which'is being poured from the bottle. Any attempt to refill thebottle will be obstructed by the screens E and 21, and also by the factthat when the goose neck at the lower extremity of the tube 1 isinnncrsed in liquid, there will be no available exit for the aircontained in the bottle or receptacle, the introduction of liquid beingthus effectively hindered.

The screen members used in connection with the different forms of thisdevice, while obviously constituting strainers. are not primarilyintended to serve as such, but rather to constitute obstructing means tothe introduction of liquid in any attempt to refill the bottle, forinstance, by means of a small flexible tube which might be insertedbetween the valve or movable stopper member and the seat adjacentthereto and through the pouring aperture. Refilling by such means willbe positively prevented by the presence of the screen members.

Having thus described the what is claimed as new, is:-

In combination, a bottle having a neck, a stopper wholly disposed andrigidly seated in said neck and having a relatively small centralpassage and relatively large discharge passage at one side thereof, anair inlet tube extending through said stopper, at the opposite side ofsaid central passage, a guide rod movable through said passage. a valvedisk secured to said rod adjacent its upper end and adapted to be seatedagainst the mouth of the bottle, a knob on the upper end of said rod forwithdrawing the same, to open, said valve, and a head on the lower endof said rod for limiting the movement of said rod and valve to its openposition.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
